                        Safety Requirements Safety Summary Before Applying Power Verify that all safety precautions are taken. The power cable inlet of the instrument is used to disconnect the  instrument from the mains in case of hazard. The instrument must be  positioned so that the operator can easily access the power cable inlet. When the instrument is mounted in a rack, the rack must be provided  with an easily accessible mains switch.
